This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of a dual control built-in thermostatic mixer shower. It is designed to ensure safe and efficient use, covering everything from initial site requirements to troubleshooting common issues.
The dual control built-in thermostatic mixer shower is designed to provide a consistent and safe showering experience. It features two controls: one for regulating water flow (on/off) and another for adjusting water temperature. The thermostatic mixer valve is a key component, ensuring that the mixed water temperature remains stable, even if there are fluctuations in the hot or cold water supply pressures or temperatures. This anti-scald protection is a critical safety feature, preventing accidental scalding by maintaining the mixed water within a safe temperature range (typically 35°C to 40°C). Should there be a loss of flow to either the hot or cold supply, the shower will automatically stop or significantly reduce water flow until both supplies are restored, further enhancing user safety. The mixer is suitable for various water systems, including gravity-fed, pumped gravity, fully modulating combination boilers, multi-point hot water heaters, thermal storage, and unvented systems. It is designed for built-in installation, meaning the main body of the valve is concealed within the wall, providing a sleek and minimalist aesthetic in the shower area.
The shower is operated via two distinct knobs, making it intuitive to use. To initiate water flow, the flow control lever is rotated fully anti-clockwise for maximum flow. To stop the shower, the same lever is rotated fully clockwise. Temperature adjustment is equally straightforward: rotating the temperature control knob clockwise will make the water cooler, while rotating it anti-clockwise will make it hotter.
A significant safety feature is the adjustable maximum temperature stop. This allows the installer or user to pre-set a top limit for the mixed water temperature, typically between 35°C and 40°C, to prevent accidental rotation to excessively hot temperatures. This setting should be checked on-site during commissioning to guarantee user safety. The mixer is designed to deliver a comfortable showering temperature, with recommended outlet temperatures for showers being 41°C, and a maximum mixed water temperature at the terminal fitting never exceeding 46°C. For premises covered by the Care Standards Act 2000, the maximum mixed water outlet temperature is 43°C, and for children, a comfortable bathing temperature of 37°C to 37.5°C is recommended.
The design allows for flexible installation, accommodating rising, falling, or rear entry hot and cold water supplies. The cover plate and tiling shroud (if supplied) can be used as templates for cutting the wall opening, ensuring a neat finish. The mixer can be mounted either side of the shower head, offering versatility in shower layout. The accessories, such as the shower head and riser rail, can be positioned above or to either side of the shower, allowing for customisation to suit user preference and bathroom design.
Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the continued safe and efficient operation of the thermostatic mixer shower, particularly for commercial and health care premises. While not strictly required for domestic installations, performing checks helps maintain performance and scald prevention.
Key maintenance tasks include:
The document also highlights that all TMV2 approved valves must be verified against the original set temperature results annually. If internal components require replacement due to unresolved temperature variations, customers are advised to contact Customer Experience. This comprehensive approach to maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of the mixer shower.
